<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Everyday
the capitalist economic crisis continues to grow. In an unprecedented
move Wall
Street investment firms, banks, and insurance companies have been taken
over by
the government or forced into mergers. Foreclosures are happening at a
record
pace and unemployment is on the rise. In an effort to avoid the
complete
collapse of capitalism, Congress, under intense pressure by Treasury
Secretary
Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke are about to pass
a $700
billion bailout of Wall Street on top of the $315 billion already given
to
bailout the giant insurer AIG as well as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and
Bear
Stearns banks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">No
matter
how much this bailout is “improved” by some minimal concessions on
secondary
issues, such as limiting executive pay—if that ever happens—or any
other
palliative measure, the fact is that the working class is going to be
forced
deeper into debt to pay off the debts of the bankers who robbed the
workers in
the first place. This bailout is a ruling-class solution. The bankers
and
the government can be made to change their tune when faced with a mass
struggle
demanding a moratorium on foreclosures and evictions. They can be
pushed back
by a movement demanding an end to layoffs and plant closings and the
right to a
job for all workers.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">To
fight
off the effects of a depression or any economic crisis, the workers
must have
their own program and advance their own demands. Housing is a right.
Education
and health care are rights. A job is a right. The only way to turn back
this
onslaught of foreclosures, evictions and layoffs, and stop the bailout
at the
same time, is to fight back in an organized, mass, militant way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
